Another account going down-HELPFUL TIP

[holyhell]

My first stealth account is sinking. They asked for invoices, credit card, driver's license, utility bill, everything but a blood sample. I don't have any of it, and I'm not gonna bother with it.
I made about a thousand bucks in a month, I was warned by Lakeman not to move too quickly, but I was still in a deep hole with bills. So I sold too much, had one violation, and low DSR on "item as described." Although none of that was an official cause of suspension.

Stealth account #2, here I come!! I actually got lucky with Payal, I called them and had them release LOTS of money early, because I had tracking numbers. She was relasing funds on items that had just arrived, without giving customers time to complain. You win some, you lose some.

Will good information there. I am surprised paypal would do that though with a new account!

That sounds like a Win to me.

Next time, slow down though.

holyhell,

I approve. Well done.

My other mistake was not creating new listings. I just kept hitting the "relist" button. I got carried away, you know, when the money starts pouring in its hard to put the brakes on.

I sent an email back saying I am unable to provide invoices. I said that I have been getting everything from store closeouts, pawn shops, flea markets, private collections, etc... I doubt it will change anything, but its worth a try.
And I figured since I'm probably losing the account anyway, I had some fun with them. I wrote a rant with things like "this place is run like a concentration camp", "you will not guarantee my reinstatement so you are not getting anymore personal info", "you say you'll destroy my credit info after investigation, but I'm sure you'll add it to your database to continue to track me", "you don't have to suspend me, I'll leave on my own."

It was fun, go out with a bang, you know?

holyhell,

ive had three paypal accounts all limited but i told them the same thing about invoices and kept on the calling them over and over and eventually the account limitations would get lifted. Anyways, your best bet is just to hammer them over and over again with a barrage of calls. Keep telling them to review the account and the information, if your missing something make up a excuse or tell them something, it worked for me. I also emailed them some ⊗⊗⊗⊗ pdfs I made in photoshop, suckas!

Thank you so much for that, dear friend. That's what I was hoping, that I could BS my way through it. You know what's weird? I've lost maybe 7 or 8 Ebay accounts, but have NEVER been limited by Paypal. I don't understand, but I'm not complaining.

Thanks for the tips holyhell! Sounds like you gave them a little hell in your email reply to them.

Nice going

Good call on clicking the relist item button. I'm not going to do that on eBay now that I started selling there again after a 10 year hiatus. That might be a good tip for selling media on amazon too. Instead of relisting a sold item over and over just create new listings. Maybe that's another one of the things they flag.
Although I had my amazon seller account for something like 8 or 9 years and did that all the time so maybe not. I think one of my competitors got me booted for selling supposedly "recopied" media from a label amazon sells itself directly. Still trying to figure out the best approach for getting back on.
Anyone who is back on and has tips is welcome to pm me. I'd appreciate the help.
